when can i lay down after botox

After receiving Botox, it is generally recommended that you avoid lying down for at least 4 to 6 hours. This precaution helps ensure that the Botox settles properly in the targeted muscles and reduces the risk of the toxin migrating to unintended areas, which could affect results or cause temporary complications. If you must lie down, it is preferable to lie on your back and avoid pressure on the treated areas. After this initial period, you can return to your normal positions, but for the first night, sleeping on your back is advised to avoid pressure on the injection sites.
